Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – June 30, 2020) – Lendified Holdings Inc. (TSXV: LHI) (formerly, Hampton Bay Capital Inc.) (the “Company” or “Lendified“) is pleased to announce the appointment of Pratik Bhandari, CPA, CA, as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Bhandari is the former comptroller of the Company.

The Company also announced, further to its press release of June 25, 2020, that it intends to offer for sale, on a non-brokered private placement basis, securities of the Company (the “Offering“) consisting of units (the “Units“) at a price of $0.015 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share (a “Share“) of the Company and one Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“) with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one Share at a price of $0.05 per Share for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering, for aggregate gross proceeds to Lendified of up to $1,427,318. Assuming the maximum proceeds are raised, the Company will issue 95,154,575 Shares and 95,154,575 Warrants pursuant to the Offering. There can be no assurances that the Offering will be successful, or if sufficient proceeds of the Offering will be raised for the purposes set out below. The Offering is subject to the receipt of TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXVE“) approval and all regulatory approvals.

The company is relying on the temporary relief measures announced by the TSXVE on April 8, 2020 (the “Temporary Relief”) in offering the Units at a price that is less than $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Temporary Relief, the Issuer will not issue more than 100% of the issued and outstanding Shares pursuant to the Offering. All securities issued under the Temporary Relief will be subject to a TSXVE hold period in addition to the restricted period under applicable securities laws and will be legended accordingly. The proceeds of the Offering will not primarily be used to pay management fees or for investor relations activities.

The proceeds derived from the Offering will be used for payment of certain expenses of the Company, including employee payrolls, trade payables, general office and administration expenses and professional fees.

There can be no assurances that the Offering will be completed on the terms set out herein, or at all, or that the proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient for the purposes of the Company or its turnaround efforts.

The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.

Subject to the approval of the TSXVE, it is anticipated that the closing of the Offering will occur as soon as possible and on or prior to July 10, 2020.
